MY REVIEW:
Dash Diet Cookbook: 15-Day Meal Plan - Simple, Quick & Tasty Recipes to Help Treat Hypertension & Lose Weight by Silvia PalaStarts with table of contents where recipes are broken up into meal categories.
Intro talks about the DASH diet and what benefits you can get if you follow this plan.
Colorful medium size photographs are also scattered around.
Other intro chapters talk about what the diet is, specific advantages of the diet, disadvantages of the plan, love that it tells you exactly what you can eat and what you should be avoiding AND the servings per day-priceless information here!
Dash diet plan shows a chart showing different meals and snacks that you can have for 15 day period.
Each recipe starts with a title, summary of the dish, some include a medium size color photo of the finished product and prep time. Ingredients are listed and pay special attention to the nutritious selections. Also one of the ingredients is highlighted with more nutritional information in a paragraph.
Directions are given on how to prepare the dish-very easy to follow.
Nutritional information per servings includes sodium, calories, fat, sat fat, cholesterol, carbs, fibers and proteins.
What I love about this book is that the nutritional information is so very well defined, in chart format and per serving size and includes SO much information for you.
These are meals for everyday, everybody can get the ingredients at their local grocery stores-no hunting around to find everything.
Other recipes include other facts: potassium, Dietary fibers, calcium, iron etc.
What I also love is that there is so much to choose from that are not over the top to make that are going to take all day.
I also like that many different appliances are used with the recipes but you don't need them all.
Measurements are standard US and are uniform throughout the book, no mixing of other countries measurements.
I would use fresh vs canned tomatoes in some of the recipes because I garden and have them in the freezer from the last harvest.
Can't wait to try the muffin recipes, will put the ingredients on my list to shop for.
My motivation for wanting to read this book is because after 6 years of living healthier after my spouses heart attack I'm still on the prowl for different ways to prepare meals that are for everyday.
A KEEPER because there's nothing to substitute for healthy ingredients, no second guessing myself and so many new variations for me to try.
I received a review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
